What's in the Report
Innovations in Early-Stage Vehicle Design
See how the 3D process empowers designers to test multiple forms and a variety of practical functions, bringing them closer to a final design much more quickly than in the past.
Rapid Tooling for Pre-Series Models
Engineers are evaluating the molds to determine the optimal design before creating a steel version for a final mold. This removes multiple steps and untold costs from the tool making process.
Customizing vehicle trims and options
Creating low-volume, specialized trim and instrument panels that add features such as compartments for tools and instruments, as well as flexible dashboard features.
Real World Functional Testing
3D printed parts are being used to test various engine components; withstanding high heat and chemicals.
